Table of ContentsReviews<br> A stellar source. --Library Journal<br> The Oxford-Hachette has such extras as four maps (England, France, North America, Europe) inside front and back covers, a section on French and English correspondence and ads, verb tables, and explanatory flowcharts of the French, English, and U.S. Constitutions, and of the European Union. But its primary innovation is the clain that the selection of meanings and contextual examples is 'corpus-based, ' yielding a 'consensus view of how a word behaves; twenty examples of a particular usage from twenty persons are much more important than twenty examples from the same person. --French Reviews<br> Excellent addition of new vocabulary, correspondence, maps, and petites annonces. Definitely a feature I would recommend for the upper division writing class I teach. --Cheney Crow, University of Texas<br> A treasure which comes at a bargain price....There is no other general bilingual French-English dictionary so authoritative and so current. --Ameri A stellar source. --Library Journal The Oxford-Hachette has such extras as four maps (England, France, North America, Europe) inside front and back covers, a section on French and English correspondence and ads, verb tables, and explanatory flowcharts of the French, English, and U.S. Constitutions, and of the European Union.

The inserts on special difficulties were well-conceived and always to the point. The new dictionary is likely to become a standard reference to students and lovers of the French language at all levels of competency. --Steven Ungar, Professor of French and Comparative Literature, The University of Iowa Extremely reasonably priced, user-friendly, up-to-date dictionary with a particularly useful correspondence section. My first impression is that this supersedes all others at present on the market. --G.T. Harris, Professor of Modern Languages, Salford University Good for students working with up-to-date texts and journals, with helpful hints on grammar or syntax in the boxes. Layout of dictionary items is excellent and examples are well chosen and translated. Excellent value for the money. --L.C. Brook, University of Birmingham Clear presentation (clearer than Collins), excellent central section on correspondence....Good section on verbs at end--well presented. --M. Lang, Heriot-Watt University Outstanding! Very up to date and exhaustive in coverage. I like the 'correspondence' examples especially. I will recommend over other dictionaries. --David L. Gobert, Southern Illinois University Extremely usable, informative, up-to-date. Provides a valuable and affordable research and study tool. Combines standard dictionary format with innovative, easy-to-use new features. --Daniel Brewer, University of Minnesota, Associate Professor of French A stellar source. --Library Journal<br> The Oxford-Hachette has such extras as four maps (England, France, North America, Europe) inside front and back covers, a section on French and English correspondence and ads, verb tables, and explanatory flowcharts of the French, English, and U.S. Constitutions, and of the European Union.
